Holiday glamour for ebony skin

This look is a simple yet elegant basic eye look that will help cause a stir at the office party this year. This special look is specifically designed for darker or ebony skin tones.

The following products are needed:

Eye shadows in peach, shimmer gray, and black

Black eyeliner

A Plum blush

Chocolate lip liner

Chocolate lipstick

Shimmery bronze lip gloss

Black Mascara or false eyelashes

Makeup brushes

For the eyes

After applying foundation and setting makeup with powder, begin by applying the peach eye color to the brow bone, lid and along the inner bottom eyelashes.

Starting at the outside crease of the eye, apply the shimmery gray eye shadow into the crease and blend with the peach color.

Take the black eyeliner and line the top lashes of the eye. Get as close to the lashes as possible to create an elegant, subtle line.

Next, take the black eye shadow and apply in a C shape. Start at the outside corner of the eye and apply along the lashes then go back up into the crease and blend with the grey eye color.

Also apply the black shadow softly to the bottom lashes blending with the peach eye shadow.

End the eyes with three coats of mascara or a great set of false eyelashes. (Holiday parties are a great time to break out a set of false eyelashes!)

For the cheeks

Smile and apply the plum cheek color to the cheekbones.

If it is needed, apply a deep bronze color to the cheek bones first to define the cheekbones even more. This will help give extra definition to the face if needed.

If this is a special evening out with friends at the clubs, a little bit of sparkle can be fun. Many companies come out with great clear shimmery powders to add an extra touch for the holidays. Don’t get carried away, but a little bit of sparkle can be fun.
